The New Zealand -footballers play Ireland to-day, and thejrepresentatives of Erin’s Isle are expected to fully extend the colonials.

We regret to hear that a popular young lady of Foxton Is at present lying seriously ill, and that the services of Dr O’Brien had to be summoned yesterday. With numerous friends, we hope for a speedy recovery. well-known identity, at the political meeting on Thursday night, was so loud in his praises of Mr Stevens that he informed the meeting he would not allow a man to speak an angry word of their candidate. We are pleased to notice that those in authority have constructed a temporary path on the left side of the windmill for the use of foot-passengers. Also ihat necessary lights were burning last night to steer Lower Avenue residents through the darkness. Bravo I Referring to his political opponents in a friendly manner during bis speech on Thursday last, Mr Stevens classed Mr Oswald Gardner’s chance of return at present election on the same footing as that of “ Buckley,” He had just as much chance of being returned Lord Mayor of London. We are living in an age of flowers. Popular public performers and speakers are always being presented with bouquets of floral tributes. And we know of few better forms of appreciation. Mr John Stevens was a victim to the bouquet craze at the Public Hall the other night, apd he modestly returned his thanks.

At Wellington on Wednesday morning a young left the house of her employer and stated that she intended to commit sujcide. She was pursued and brought back. Later on she swallowed some match heads, and qfter being treated by a doctor was removed to the Hospital, where she now is in rather a serious condition. Mr John Stevens is a pleasing speaker, and ope who does not allow a spell of drearipess to overtake his audience, He has the happy knack of driving his utterances home by a never-ending supply of humourous anecdotes, which never fail to win an audience. This was plainly evidenced at the Public Hall on Thursday night, when hie oratorical effort may be classed as masterful. We have been questioned as to whether our report was correct as to Mr Vile receiving a vote of thanks and confidence, or one of thanks only, at his meeting the other night. So far as we/ can understand the mover intended to embody the confidenne vote in his proposal, but the chairman could only p|jt to the meeting what the meeting asked, and accordingly put a vote of thanks only. We have to acknowledge receipt from Messrs Leary and Dixon of a copy of a waltz “ Kia Ora ” by Roland Smith, a young New Zealand musician. The waltz, which has bees published in London, is spoken of most highly by experts. It has a delightful cadence and is sure to become very popular next dancing season. Copies may be procured from Messrs Leary and Dixon.— “ Standard.’’

A public audience are usually easily led. This was evidenced at Mr Stevens’ meeting the other night. When Mr G. A. Simpson (chairman) was in the act of introducing the candidate to the electors, a humourous member of the audience wished to know whether he (Mr Simpson) was the candidate or not. This raised a simmer of applause from a section of the audience, who only attend these political gatherings for the fun they can get out of them ; but as soon as Mr Simpson mentioned that, as chairman, he was there to govern the meeting, and he Intended to do it, the applause was deafening in favour of the chairman’s remarks, and there was no misrule after. These remarks of the chairman were certainly called for, and had the desired effect.

Speaking at Shannon on Monday night, Mr Oswald Gardner referred to the great natural faculties which the district possessed for ,the development of electrical energy. He was strongly in favour of urging upon the Government to develop the latent electrical energies of the Shannon and other districts throughout the colony, on reproductive lines. He said a friend of his, a visitor from abroad, who was a practical electrical engineer, had stated to him that he could not understand why the manufacturers of this colony should trouble about coal, when all the electrical power that would be needed in this colony for generations to come could so cheaply and easily be developed. In the speaker’s opinion it was just what was wanted to enable us to compete with outsiders.

As Mr Boss, Government candidate for Pahiatua, appeared on the platform at Woodville to deliver art address he was bombarded with bouquets, which, he said, “would please his mother when she heard of it.’’

The N.Z. Rugby Union has suspended the Canterbury Union for failing to refund a sum of £i Os, Unauthorised expenditure, which the Canterbury Union deducted from a payment to the governing body. According to a private letter received in Wanganui, nine members of the New Zealand football team had been injured up till the time the last mail left. Thompson had contracted Water on the knee as the result of an injury received in the Bristol match.

The evergreen John Burke O’Brien turned Up again at the Police Court (Palmerston) yesterday, charged ’for the second time this Week with drunkenness, He proceeded to address the Court in excuse of his offence, but the S.M. pulled him up with ,‘ fined 10s or 48 hours hard labour.” “ Thank you, sir,” said O’Brien as be left the Court. The attention of speculators on the result of the election is directed to the following clause in the Electoral Act, 1905, section 195, sub-section (c) Every person commits an illegal practice, and is liable for every such offence to a fine not exceeding £ 2O, who makes any wager, bet, or other risk of any nature upon thQ result of any election under this Act.” An interesting subject will be dealt with at the Public Hall tc-raorfow night, after the conclusion of church services. A large audience is expected, and as Mr Heagerty, the lecturer, is a much travelled gentleman and a reputed fluent speaker, we may reasonably expect no dull moments. We understand the subject of Mr Heagerty’s address will be “The Evils of No-License.”

A Dunedin telegram says William McCracker, aged seventy, a retired bootmaker, while chattering and laughing with his family, was seized with a choking fit and expired before medical assistance could be summoned. Deceased, who was subject to heart failure, took a keen interest in public matters at the northern end of the city. His eldest son is serving on the Tapanui murder jury.

She was unattended and ultimately died of consumption. After hearing the evidence accused was committed for trial at the next sittings of the Supreme Court.

Kiely was sentenced at a Court Martial in 1866 to death for treason. The 5 estenco was commuted to imprisonment for life and he was exiled to West Australia where he is still under detention though liberated on license of 1878. Several fellow exiles escaped to America and others were pardoned.

Speaking at a luncheon on the new turbine steamer Maheno at Wellington recently, Mr Mills, manager of the Union Company, remarked that the Company now had fifty-three steamers with a tonnage of 109,000 tons. By the end of the year it would probably reach 112,000 tons. The Maheno’s record trip from Sydney with a very heavy cargo had proved her steaming capacity. He expected that with fine weather and an ordinary loading the vessel would make the run in seventytwo hours. He looked forward to the arrival, in a year or two from now, of a turbine steamer for the WellingtonLyttelton service. The Company was waiting to get experience with turbines in order to see what improvements could be made.
